A Must Have mac app. January 31, 2007
Posted by vinnyt in : Mac Apps , 1 comment so far So I came across this app, and it something I’ve been looking for now for some time. I’ve started using iCal and trying to keep on top of my life. However, I’m not always sitting in front of my deck so now I can update my calendar any time on google and when I get home my stuff will be Synced. Awesome

going to California January 30, 2007
Posted by vinnyt in : General , add a commentif you know me I lived in California for about 9 months during the whole dot com debacle. I was fresh out of college and a hot shot, and I believed that I could go out there find a dot com get some stock options and then strike it rich. Well unfortunately I was about 1 year too late, and so I hung out worked with some idiots and as a result it didn’t work out quite like I had hoped. I spent me time that at eToys.com it was an interesting work experience we had big screen TVs, pool tables and every new video game of the day. My job there was to help develop a technology that was identical to what SOAP is today. Unfortunately due to the fact that if you had a pulse and saw a computer you could get a job in Sunny Southern California. I discovered this very quickly and upon doing so I realized the writing was on the wall and I had to get the hell out. Well my time there came and went. I often times think back to what I did and wonder what would have happened had I stay on the coast. I suppose that wondering and knowing what happen are 2 very different things, Since I don’t know I don’t dwell on it very often. I am going to be heading back out west in the next 2 weeks and I’m really excited. Although I’ll only be there for a day I’m excited to see it one more time.

Posted by vinnyt in : General , add a commentWell, it’s been a couple of weeks in coming but here it is. The year has started off quite right for old iVinnyt. I got some exciting news that I’m going to keep bottled up until it develops a little more, but if things come together as planned it’ll be a phenominal 2007. In addition a good friend of mine has decided to move back to Kansas City after a brief stint in a small town in california. I’ve signed up to start playing hockey again and will be hitting the ice start feb 14th. I’m very excited for this because it’ll be one of the first times I’ve played hockey since I got Lasik done on my eyes and frankly from the last time I played it has made a huge difference. Mainly just becuase I can see everything that is going on now and I’m not limited to the crappy vision that I was afforded when I was wearing contacts. That being said my eyes have become somewhat sensitive to light, and I’m particularly concerned about protecting my eyes so I’m going to start wearing a face shield. I decided to go with an oakley straight cut amber tinted visor as a means of cutting down the glare and to protect myself from stairing at a bright white surface for a good hour. I’ll keep you posted as things develop…..
